Chapter 170

"This..." Xi Hejin flicked his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I did say that, but twelve years old is too early to build a foundation."

Xi Jiuer looked at him dimly, as if she was unwilling to give up.

Xi Hejin explained: "It would be fine if it was just the three of you, but it's really inappropriate for your second senior brother to have someone following him."

Xi Jiuer still said nothing.

"Alright alright."

In the end, Xi Hejin couldn't bear her resentful look anymore and had to compromise.

"But you can't use your spiritual power on other people."

Xi Jiuer suddenly smiled and said sweetly, "Thank you, Master!"

……

After the spaceship arrived at Longtie City, Bie Xirou chose to stay on the spaceship as usual.

Jin Haolin asked her: "Aren't you going to see your master?"

Bie Xirou shook her head and said in a cold voice: "He is very good, he doesn't need it."

There was no danger in the city, so Yan Hongxi chose to stay. Lan Ting and Lan Gu were also ordered by Jin Haolin to stay on the spaceship.

Longtie City is the headquarters of the Equipment Refiners Union.

This place is not as prosperous and bustling as the capital of the Celestial Empire, nor is it as picturesque as the sect’s territory.

At first glance, there is the endless desolate Gobi Desert and the dark mountains in the distance.

However, it is the production area of ​​a large number of high-quality spirit stones, especially the iron essence which is often used in refining equipment.

There are also many weapon-making shops in the city, and the air is filled with a strong smell of smoke.

Walking in, you can see some clean and tidy shops, where each weapon refiner is guarding a furnace.

Jin Haolin glanced at Su Nanzhi and said, "If you are interested, you can register as a weapon refiner here."

Su Nanzhi looked at the scenery in the city and replied absentmindedly: "No need."

Equipment refiners and alchemists are very popular in the world of immortal cultivation and are respected by cultivators.

However, the assessment is also extremely strict. It can only be carried out by the union headquarters or official branches in other cities. All items used are provided by the union, and complete identity information must be provided.

Given Su Nanzhi’s current condition, it’s better for her not to go.

Jin Haolin remembered that she was still being hunted secretly, and said apologetically: "I was rash."

"Qingqing and I are going to the Equipment Refiners' Union to find a master and ask him some questions. You guys can just walk around in this city and wait for us."

Su Nanzhi turned her head to look at him, her dark, round, bright almond-shaped eyes revealing a hint of indifference.

"Why don't Xi Jiuer and I go out to look for herbs so that we can both avoid delays."

They may be in a hurry.

Moreover, the city is filled with black smoke, and breathing too much is bad for your health.

Jin Haolin was a little hesitant, but the spiritual beasts outside Longtie City were generally not very powerful, and Xu Qingluan was small in stature and would not be discovered even if she took action, so he agreed.

After they left, Xie Qinghuai asked in confusion: "You and Su Nanzhi seem to have a very distant relationship."

She had long noticed the abnormality in the way they addressed each other, and Su Nanzhi's coldness was treating everyone equally.

"Miss Su was only noticed by the master but not formally accepted as his disciple. We have only met not long ago." Jin Haolin explained.

"Since you like him, why don't you become his disciple?" Xie Qinghuai glanced at him, "Is there a test to join your sect?"

Jin Haolin couldn't say anything, and Xie Qinghuai tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

Xi Jiuer rode on Su Nanzhi's flying sword and came to the edge of Anhui Mountains outside Longtie City.

Due to the frequent mining activities in this area, the surrounding spiritual beasts were either strangled or driven away, and no spiritual beasts were seen along the way. Looking at the endless Gobi Desert, Xi Jiuer was a little worried.

"Miss, do you know the way back?"

The terrain here is rugged and the city and buildings are no longer visible.

Su Nanzhi was not panicked at all: "I can find your second brother, don't worry."

The feather of the golden bird is still on her body.

"Okay then." Xi Jiuer turned her attention back to the herbs she was looking for. Looking at the sparse vegetation here, she couldn't help but wonder, "Can I really find the herbs that Master wants here?"

"The Quidelizards we are looking for happen to live near the Anhui Mountains."

The scroll of medicinal materials needed by Xi Hejin had always been kept by Jin Haolin. Xi Jiuer had never seen it, so naturally she didn't know what they were looking for.

Xi Jiuer looked around and asked, "This place is so desolate, could there really be spirit beasts here?"

Su Nanzhi nodded: "The Quidi Lizard is a relatively gentle spirit beast. It is weak and will not actively attack humans. Moreover, its ability to dig the soil can also provide assistance in this mine."

Even though it is late autumn, the sun here is extremely dazzling.

Xi Jiuer's face was red from the sun, and she trotted forward to hold Su Nanzhi's hand, pleading with her eyes: "Miss, can you give me a piece of ice?"

Su Nanzhi also felt hot, so she used her spiritual power to condense ice cubes and applied them to her face.

With her red face pressed against the ice, Xi Jiuer squinted her eyes happily: "I really envy my little sister and fourth sister, they don't have to worry about the hot weather."

Recalling Rong Huai's description of Yin Suling, Su Nanzhi asked, "Your fourth sister has dual spiritual roots of ice and fire?"

"Hmm." Xi Jiuer nodded.

The fire spiritual root is known as the exclusive spiritual root of the Celestial Empire’s royal family, and the last human emperor had a fire spiritual root.

Women with water spiritual roots have excellent physiques for being cauldrons, and those with good looks are often sent to wealthy families or even the imperial palace to give birth to excellent offspring.

Bing Ling is actually the sublimation of water spirit roots, so it is normal for Yin Suling to have ice and fire spirit roots.

However, after hearing about the emperor's favor towards her, Su Nanzhi thought that her mother held a very high position.

The elements of spiritual roots have a lot to do with parents.

In order to breed pure-blooded spiritual roots, the royal family usually has women of high status in the palace with spiritual roots that are almost the same as the emperor.

Su Nanzhi asked again: "Do you know the identity of your fourth sister's mother?"

"My mother died when Fourth Senior Sister was just born. I don't know either."

Su Nanzhi knew she was talking too much and didn't ask any more questions.

Xi Jiuer doesn't care. She is an orphan. It doesn't matter to her whether she has parents or not. As long as she has a master and senior brothers and sisters who love her, it's fine.
After walking for a long time, I didn't even see a Quidditch lizard.

Xi Jiuer found a stone and sat on it without paying attention to the yellow sand and dust.

"Miss, let's take a break."

Her feet were sore from walking for so long.

Unfortunately, the Quidi Lizard was similar in color to the ground and its aura was very weak, so it was easy for Yu Jian to ignore it and he could only walk.

Su Nanzhi was also a little tired, so she pulled Xi Jiuer's arm to help her get up, patted the dirt off her body, took out a blanket and spread it on the stone, and then they sat down together.

Xi Jiuer swung her legs, exhausted both physically and mentally: "Miss, can you ask your companion spirit beast to bring one back?"

Su Nanzhi shook her head: "She won't agree."

Suddenly, there was a deafening noise in the distance. Xi Jiuer looked over and asked, "Is there a fight over there?"

Su Nanzhi did not move at all, "It has nothing to do with us."

Not long after, they noticed smoke and dust billowing not far away, obviously rushing towards them.
